06:58:02 PMGarbee GregInTexas: It is SO worth it for running an Ecommerce Store/website.
06:58:25 PMGarbee and that is Canadian dollars, so convert to your standard. Which is about $300 USD now.
06:58:27 PMGregInTexas well, I've used joomla/virtue mart ... gotta be better than that
06:58:43 PMGarbee I was looking at so many free solutions, hint... THEY ALL SUCK!
06:59:06 PMGarbee The main issue I am going to have with Lemonstand is making the Search function built in search the attributes of products as well.
06:59:23 PMGarbee It only wants to search descriptions, meta, and a few other details.
06:59:24 PMGregInTexas well, joomla is not really free ... by the time you get all the extensions you need, it costs real money
06:59:47 PMDennis_Kelley Hello _Jot_
06:59:54 PMGarbee GregInTexas: either way, it sucks compared to Lemonstand which is built for Ecommerce, and it is also replacing Drupal as our main site CMS since we are paying for it.
07:00:35 PMDennis_Kelley Its starting!! Awesome!

07:20:00 PMT0B33 I'll probably re watch this again on youtube later my netbook is damaged i thought it was sorted lol but works now :)
07:20:05 PMGarbee Jot, it will just contain air from Virginia.
07:20:13 PMGregInTexas I can't cut and paste off the video ...
07:20:22 PM_Jot_ Garbee, you could put the air in a can and then send it that way
07:20:23 PMGarbee Sending the pollution up north, making a better atmosphere down in the US!
07:20:43 PMGregInTexas L4N 747 ? sounds like a flight ...

07:21:10 PMagamotto betta butter for betas!
07:21:10 PMchrisreich DRINK! Robbie mispronounced "Beta" again - twice
07:21:10 PMJVSCC Beata

07:21:21 PMagamotto Pear pimples for hairy fishnuts?
07:21:22 PMinvinciblemutant have you sent me the info robbie?

07:22:18 PMDennis_Kelley Beer!
07:22:19 PMMichaeliowa hi
07:22:20 PMagamotto I tried to send ice cream, takes to long to get there from Toronto... sniff
07:22:30 PMGarbee No beer. I can't buy that, nor would send it across nation lines.
07:22:34 PMinvinciblemutant cat5 gang
07:22:46 PMGregInTexas awww ... no beer
07:23:01 PMGarbee Shouldn't that be at the bottom of the pile?
07:23:09 PMGarbee I am confused as to how this show works now.
07:23:13 PM_Jot_ but you're very important Garbee
07:23:14 PMpyrosrock Gorbee why cant u buy it?
07:23:28 PMagamotto He hasn't hit 21 yet
07:23:39 PMchrisreich I once transported a frozen turkey to Africa. It arrived frozen. We knew what we were doing.
07:23:40 PMinvinciblemutant sounds like boeing 777
07:23:41 PMGarbee pyrosrock: I am only 19. Need to be 21 in america to buy alchohol.
07:23:41 PMGregInTexas chmod 666 markofthebeast.com
07:23:44 PMpyrosrock oh its 18 here
07:23:58 PMinvinciblemutant aeroplane
07:23:59 PMpyrosrock lololol
07:24:01 PMGarbee I don't drink alchohol anyways.
07:24:14 PMagamotto I got into trouble once trying to bring Ginger Ale in from Vancouver...
07:24:45 PMagamotto For some reason, the border guards (US) were sure it was alcoholic.
07:24:50 PMinvinciblemutant how do you remember this? robbie...
07:25:02 PMGarbee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod ... For more information about numbers and permissions for those interested.
07:25:06 PMJVSCC Just look it up from the "Book of Knowledge"
07:25:15 PMagamotto or the 'man' page
07:25:23 PMeclipse2 learn to count to 7 in binary and it will make sense
07:25:24 PMevermind i cant believe this, you got robbie to explain filesys perms
07:25:27 PMevermind hehehe, good work
07:25:27 PMJVSCC Su root
07:25:40 PMGarbee Kick my month away...
07:25:43 PMpyrosrock RobbieF what is it mean when its like 66x?
07:25:47 PMchrisreich RobbieF, can you have a permission of "1" so that you could execute while NOT having permission to read?
07:25:48 PMagamotto And of course, 666 gives them access to the anti-christ developer build ;)
07:25:56 PMevermind 66 is read owner and read group
07:26:15 PMevermind yah, read and write
07:26:23 PMGarbee aw, found my error.
07:26:24 PMDennis_Kelley Hillary are you lost?
07:26:25 PMinvinciblemutant for me, memorise so: read from (four), write to (two), execute once (one)
07:26:34 PMDave_Maydew RobbieF and to all, I'm building a media centre PC, and I was wondering which distro is the best to use? I also want to browse the web, email and play my WarZone 2100 also
07:26:39 PMHillary indeed.
07:26:40 PMGarbee I was giving others no permissions.
07:26:45 PMevermind robbie, just to complete that one, whats +s?
07:27:17 PMGarbee Maybe by upping that to 4 it will fix the functions the next time I make the system.
07:27:17 PMGregInTexas don't make apache www-data ... change it to something else
07:27:23 PMagamotto Dave_Maydew- Will you be recording live telly via Freesat, OTA, or terrestrial cable?
07:27:34 PMevermind shouldnt be root;)
07:27:43 PMinvinciblemutant apache should be the best user
07:27:46 PMevermind aight,, ill let him explain
07:27:49 PMevermind apache neither
07:27:52 PMevermind in your apache.conf
07:27:56 PMGarbee I am a vhost, so everything under my area is mine unless my web host makes it.
07:27:58 PMevermind you find the user that your scripts should have
07:28:07 PMGarbee So I automatically own everything I install.
07:28:10 PMevermind on most debian-based distris its www-data
07:28:15 PMGregInTexas normal shared hosting, Garbee?
07:28:17 PMevermind some do nobody:nogroup
07:28:20 PMinvinciblemutant yea...www-data
07:28:39 PMGarbee I think Robbie enjoys talking about Web stuff all thet ime.
07:28:40 PMinvinciblemutant how come it is root on robbie machine, that isnt the default i reckon
07:28:40 PMJVSCC grep-skie
07:28:42 PMGarbee all the time*
07:29:06 PMevermind you can also make the owner youruser
07:29:06 PMevermind and the group www-data
07:29:06 PMevermind that way ftp uploads will work
07:29:06 PMevermind ;)
07:29:07 PMagamotto invinciblemutant- On a server, I would think it would be 'root' most of the time
07:29:24 PMevermind saying that, wanna add to your ftpd chown group to www-data
07:29:36 PMGarbee evermind: That may have just solved an issue I am having using Drupal on my local boxes!
07:29:45 PMGregInTexas except in your apache2.conf, change the www-data to something non-standard
07:29:57 PMGregInTexas but if your are on shared hosting, you may not have a choice
07:30:14 PMagamotto 747?
07:30:18 PMevermind if youre on shared hosting, chowning might be out of your scope
07:30:25 PMevermind thats usually the point where you call their admin
07:30:27 PMpyrosrock what does the x mean in permissions?
07:30:28 PMGarbee Robbie, You fixed it just explaining the numbering at the start, but the extra stuff helps as well with some other stuff.
07:30:29 PMGregInTexas right evermind
07:30:30 PMinvinciblemutant robbie, can you explain sometimes we can specify 0777
07:30:33 PMGarbee Thanks.
07:30:34 PMinvinciblemutant 4 digits
07:30:36 PMagamotto xecute
07:30:48 PM_Jot_ invinciblemutant, because it is octal, and the 0 indicates octal numbering
07:30:48 PMGarbee Now to setup another dev enviornment for the 8th time!
07:31:02 PMGarbee That will wait for a while though.
07:31:10 PMevermind pyros, x is execute
07:31:12 PMDave_Maydew No PVR
07:31:12 PMevermind like r is read
07:31:13 PMagamotto I am so glad I don't have to play with that stuff often
07:31:16 PMevermind and w write
07:31:20 PMevermind nother way to write it
07:31:26 PMHillary yes agamotto? lol
07:31:28 PMDave_Maydew I have Sky+ HD :-)
07:31:31 PMevermind and in your listing its like this:
07:31:39 PMrobgor xbmc
07:31:47 PMagamotto Dave_Maydew- Do you plan on recording much from your Sky box?
07:31:52 PMScorpio55 A new MythTV spinoff is on the cards
07:31:55 PMinvinciblemutant that is in UK i reckon
07:31:56 PMevermind userxuserwuserr-groupxgroupwgroupr-anyonexanyonewanyoner
07:32:16 PMagamotto XBMC does not record telly ATM
07:32:16 PMrobgor or get a boxee box
07:32:19 PMDave_Maydew No recording from the Sky box as it's a media Satellite box
07:32:21 PMGarbee Boxee was good, until they stopped Developing the desktop versions in order to focus on their Boxee-Box.
07:32:23 PMGregInTexas ubuntu tv ?
07:32:24 PMDave_Maydew runs BusyBox
07:32:25 PMagamotto neither does Boxee
07:32:37 PMevermind GregInTexas, im waiting for ubuntu tv
07:32:38 PMGarbee GregInTexas: Still beta software I believe.
07:32:43 PMevermind definitely something im gonna try
07:32:47 PMinvinciblemutant i will look at it later
07:32:50 PMGarbee I havn't tested Ubuntu TV yet though.
07:32:57 PMevermind btw, most media center soft is beta
07:32:57 PMDave_Maydew P4 641 3.2GHz HT
07:33:01 PMRavenLords hello every one
07:33:07 PMGregInTexas I think they're gonna make ubuntu available on the android desktop thingy also
07:33:10 PMDave_Maydew I shall let you know :-)
07:33:25 PMDave_Maydew Cheers RobbieF
07:33:37 PMagamotto Dave_Maydew- you might be able to... you could use an IR blaster to change the channel on the Sky box... connect it to the HTPC via 3-color out, if the Sky box offers that output. If you are really lucky, HDMI.
07:33:39 PMRavenLords hello Robbief
07:33:57 PMevermind btw, another interresting take on file perms, check out "chattr"
07:34:09 PMevermind chattr +i filename is a nice way to "freeze changes"
07:34:27 PMevermind i.e. helps with a customized resolv.conf
07:35:08 PMGarbee What CMS does everyone like?
07:35:25 PMevermind Garbee, a cms that works
07:35:26 PMevermind joke aside
07:35:28 PMGregInTexas I've looked at several Garbee
07:35:28 PMagamotto Dave_Maydew- Otherwise, if recording telly isn't a priority, then XBMC can be very nice
07:35:29 PMevermind i do like typo3
07:35:54 PMGarbee Typo3 is on my list to look at closer, just seems like so much work to get going.
07:35:55 PMGregInTexas modx is interesting
07:35:57 PMagamotto Dave_Maydew- Mythbuntu would be a bit overpowered if you aren't planning on recording telly.
07:36:27 PMevermind interresting q
07:36:52 PMDave_Maydew not bothered about recording TV as the Satellite receiver has 1TB drive
07:37:06 PMGarbee 12GB RAM is very small when I run VM's the way I want.
07:37:15 PMGarbee I need 24GB to run them the way I want.
07:37:32 PMagamotto Dave_Maydew- In that case, try XBMC... You wouldn't be using about 40% of what is in Mythbuntu
07:37:38 PMGregInTexas on my web server I've used 32gig for a long time
07:37:41 PMevermind works kinda ok though, for my two vms on it
07:37:43 PMevermind test setup
07:37:52 PMevermind a deb webserver doesnt need much
07:38:06 PMGarbee VMWare has a tool, but I have found it buggy.
07:38:14 PMGregInTexas lol ... apache sucks up 10mb with every new connection
07:38:18 PMevermind +1 for vmware converter
07:38:22 PMajamison5579 If it is windows there is a tool to convert it to a VM
07:38:35 PMagamotto Dave_Maydew- Just make sure that you have a nVidia 2xx level gfx card output to make 1080p smooth and silky.
07:38:38 PMevermind if you want virtualbox, you can always convert to vdi afterwards
07:38:55 PMagamotto One of my favorite backup tools
07:38:58 PMDave_Maydew The PC is a 3yr old Packard Bell iStart 2380 series with a P4 3.2GHz 64Bit CPU, 160Gb SATA HDD at present, but adding a 500Gb SATA soon, 2Gb RAM and a ATI Radeon T1100
07:38:59 PMGarbee http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/ ... If you want to give VMWare a try, it is free too.
07:39:09 PMgpop7 clonzilla for virtual machine
07:39:09 PMagamotto It has replaced Acronis True Image for me
07:39:16 PMGarbee Only for Windows machines I think though.
07:39:22 PMGarbee oh, and Linux it says.
07:39:24 PMevermind garbee
07:39:34 PMevermind yah, on the other hand, doing an image of linux is simple
07:39:37 PMDave_Maydew I was given the machine as my wifes friend said it wasn't booting... it was running VISTA
07:39:41 PMevermind dd --help
07:39:43 PMagamotto Dave_Maydew- I am not sure abou the video card, but the rest sounds reasonable
07:39:51 PMGarbee evermind: If they are asking how to convert, they should not use DD.
07:40:03 PMGarbee dd is for those who know what they are typing in, else things get messed beyond repair.
07:40:05 PMDave_Maydew I have a nVidia card coming in the post
07:40:17 PMevermind oki, you got a point there, garbee
07:40:18 PMagamotto Garbee- agreed
07:40:18 PMGarbee and take drivers out.
07:40:24 PMevermind eventhough, luv ma dd, simple syntax
07:40:25 PMevermind =)
07:40:29 PMgpop7 i should have let him finish before i asked the question
07:40:30 PMGarbee dd = l337s
07:40:37 PMgpop7 sorry
07:40:48 PMevermind only two commandline options lets you clone everything
07:41:17 PMDave_Maydew I also have another machine coming to me, which is ATOM based, that I will use as a webserver and personal email server
07:41:23 PMGarbee Clonezill may use dd, but better people who are asking use a GUI to do it vs typing it in themselves.
07:41:44 PMevermind yah yah, understood=)
07:42:02 PMagamotto Dave_Maydew- the atom-based box could be good, as long as it has a gfx card/set that supports 1080p output
07:42:12 PMGarbee Oh, btw... Parted Magic (http://partedmagic.com/doku.php) is now my favorite Linux liveCD tool for diagnostics and repair stuff. So much built into it.
07:42:13 PMDave_Maydew I just want to host my own personal site, that will help noobs and point them to Cat5tv also :-)
07:42:25 PMRyan00 Robbie is their anyway to listen to your shows on my android phone ?
07:42:34 PMpyrosrock most cards support 1080p these days
07:42:36 PMagamotto Garbee- Great little silver disc, isn't it?
07:42:42 PMGarbee Ryan00: Live, not yet. On demand, yes. You can download and copy over.
07:42:46 PMevermind never used the livecd but know parted, garbee, thx for the link
07:42:52 PMDave_Maydew The Atom based machine will be headerless for webserving and email serving
07:43:01 PMRyan00 Thank You
07:43:05 PMGarbee evermind: It is very much worth a shot.
07:43:06 PMDave_Maydew the Packard bell will be the Media Centre
07:43:34 PMRavenLords hello Robbief
07:43:34 PMDave_Maydew and I want to VNC into both and SSH too :-)
07:43:39 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, what question would you like us to ask you that you like best?
07:43:47 PMGarbee My main thing right now is no way (That I know of) to keep definitions for ClamAV on a USB key for refernce, it requires internet.
07:44:47 PMagamotto Yep, poor thing is running out of coolant
07:44:48 PMYazid1965 Just Do It! LOL
07:45:08 PMGarbee When can I go to space?!
07:45:09 PMRavenLords lol
07:45:32 PMevermind i wanna shoot some ppls to the moon
07:45:33 PMGregInTexas take it some helium!
07:45:36 PMDave_Maydew Ask Richard Branson :-)
07:45:39 PMDave_Maydew cvb
07:46:04 PMDave_Maydew caught my k/b then
07:46:14 PMGregInTexas meanwhile, all us folks that root our phones get rid of the stupid slide lock ...
07:46:22 PMGarbee Next we will have people like Kyle from KyleXY running around.
07:46:49 PMagamotto it could be worse, it could be Observers
07:46:53 PMevermind guy looks like tom seleck=)
07:47:02 PMDave_Maydew Is he a radio ham??
07:47:32 PMeclipse2 soy ooze
07:47:41 PMagamotto I was thinking Jacque Le Coq myself....
07:48:04 PMGuest_7473 When they launched, did he say " Take off Hoser"
07:48:11 PMScorpio55 Dave_Maydew check out his name on QRZ
07:48:11 PMGregInTexas Mittens!
07:48:16 PMajamison5579 they could not think of a better name then the Canadian Arm
07:48:23 PMGarbee See that childish smile on RobbieF's face?
07:48:31 PMevermind guys making our all dreams
07:48:37 PMevermind cudoes to all astronauts
07:48:42 PMevermind and cosmonauts
07:48:43 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, so when are you going to visit the ISS?
07:48:45 PMDave_Maydew You can listen to the ISS on VHF radio
07:48:48 PMGarbee evermind: Kudos?
07:48:52 PMevermind yea, that
07:48:53 PMevermind hehehe
07:48:57 PMGarbee heh
07:48:58 PMDennis_Kelley By Port Huron in Michigan!
07:49:01 PMajamison5579 RobbieF when is the first Remote from space?
07:49:08 PMGarbee I was like.. What is Cudoes?
07:49:09 PMevermind ty for correcting
07:49:11 PMagamotto Ahhh, but are they Holmes-approved?
07:49:12 PMagamotto heheheeheh
07:49:39 PMevermind it shows im not native
07:49:52 PMDave_Maydew Power Company running Windows
07:49:53 PMpyrosrock Dave_Maydew bummer i only have a UHF and a HF
07:49:54 PMDave_Maydew lol
07:49:54 PMScorpio55 Dave_Maydew ISS 145.800mhz ???
07:50:11 PM_Jot_ I wash my powercables with water and soap twice a day, so I always have clean power
07:50:16 PMGregInTexas fer sure
07:50:21 PMDave_Maydew I beleive they use UHF also Pyrosrock
07:50:21 PMYazid1965 lol
07:50:55 PMevermind one can spend alot of money on server monitoring
07:50:58 PMGregInTexas is he gonna talk about TOP ?
07:51:09 PMDave_Maydew and somewhere in the 143MHz Scorpio
07:51:11 PMpyrosrock Dave_Maydew do u know frequency?
07:51:39 PMScorpio55 ISS CROSS BAND uhf/vhf UPLINK/DOWNLINK
07:51:44 PMevermind theres something like facebook for server monitoring, i cant recall the name atm
07:51:47 PMGarbee Hillary: Wouldn't you say that is "cool beans"?
07:51:49 PMevermind they had it on ces last year
07:51:49 PMRavenLords yes
07:52:08 PMDennis_Kelley Yes
07:52:11 PMDave_Maydew Pyrosrock, PM me your email address
07:52:12 PMagamotto Isn't that all in the Webmin package?
07:52:16 PMYazid1965 easy breezy--cool beans and now Just Do It! lol
07:52:17 PMjonathon evermind, munin?
07:52:19 PMevermind servermonitoring+knowledgebase community, found the idea cool
07:52:25 PMDave_Maydew I'll send you all the frequencies
07:52:28 PMHillary bahaha. quote book!
07:52:33 PMevermind munin is another good project, jonathon
07:53:06 PMjonathon Ah I was thinking dashboards/wall
07:53:06 PMScorpio55 http://hamradio.arc.nasa.gov/ISSrepeater.html
07:53:16 PMDave_Maydew what is your callsign Pyrosrock?
07:53:48 PMevermind someone remember these uptimed, aka linux uptime stats
07:53:55 PMevermind that was fun a few years ago
07:54:04 PMScorpio55 ISS uplink 437.800mhz downlink 145.800mhz
07:54:05 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, if you have a router, it wouldn't respond to pings because of security, so pinging your home network should normally never be possible
07:54:38 PMGarbee _Jot_: There are ways around that.
07:55:11 PMagamotto Hillary- It happens more often than you would think.
07:55:19 PMevermind talking about passwords, chrome get a password generator
07:55:22 PMHillary oh i know it!
07:55:25 PMevermind wonder if anyone would use that
07:55:26 PM_Jot_ Garbee, sure, but normally you wouldn't want such things, like in my case, if you tried to detect me on my IP, you wouldn't detect anything from my network at all, like I don't exist on the internet
07:56:13 PMagamotto evermind- yes, I can't wait to see if it passes muster
07:56:54 PMGarbee Robbie, This service is awesome.
07:57:16 PMevermind that service is indeed alot better than the one im using atm
07:57:28 PMevermind will have to test it as soon as my own website server is back up
07:57:35 PMScorpio55 Dave_Maydew must install Gpredict to find the ISS next pass
07:57:37 PMGarbee I currently have no way to monitor these things on my web host.
07:58:32 PMGarbee Well, I did not have a way to monitor these things, now I do!
07:58:54 PMDave_Maydew I use Gpredict and on Android I run Heavens Above
07:59:06 PMevermind good way to see if terminal server is reachable from outside
07:59:09 PMGregInTexas we use whatsup gold for this, but pretty neat (free) way to do it!
07:59:58 PMJVSCC Groovy baby
08:00:04 PMDennis_Kelley What is the Weather like in Barrie?
08:00:09 PMRavenLords ty i need that
08:00:31 PMagamotto I can see how it would be very useful for admin on a school network, or somesuch
08:00:39 PMJVSCC a demo
08:00:49 PMagamotto junksite..... apple.com?
08:01:02 PMGarbee Hillary: You mean " Un-reliable"
08:01:17 PMScorpio55 Dave_Maydew We'll have to try for a QSO with that Canadian astronaut when he's on the ISS and sendthe recording to RobbieF
08:01:32 PMGarbee search.cat5.tv?
08:01:34 PMevermind imagine you got servers behind a fw, and wanna test the firewall rules
08:01:44 PMevermind if you messed something up, the flag turns red
08:01:49 PMGarbee Yea, that is SO hard to take down...
08:03:04 PMagamotto WPS is still borked, yes?
08:03:18 PMGarbee WPS?
08:03:30 PMGuest_5413 yes
08:03:35 PMevermind waht is wps
08:03:40 PMDennis_Kelley wow that is coo!
08:03:54 PMevermind sms service messages too?
08:03:56 PMGuest_5413 wireless protected setup I think
08:04:06 PMagamotto Ok, will pass that along to my nieghbor
08:04:11 PMGarbee WPS will never be safe.
08:04:36 PMevermind what is wireless protected setup?, some replacement for wpa2?
08:04:37 PMGarbee Guest_5413: Yea, you hit it.
08:04:51 PMagamotto Hillary- Does it involve your dog eating and rolling around in something dead and fermented?
08:04:54 PMGarbee No. WPS is an *easy* and INSECURE way to setup WPA on many systems.
08:05:09 PMagamotto evermind- nah, easy 'noob' setup
08:05:09 PM_Jot_ WPS means you press a button, and then you can set up something else automaticly without entering passwords and so on for a limited amount of time
08:05:15 PMevermind and yes, you can check if your friends are online, if you get em to start a dyndns daemon
08:05:25 PMevermind friends, or think family pc offline
08:05:26 PM_Jot_ so, press button on router and within 2-5 minutes, set up your device
08:05:30 PMGuest_8106 shouldnt have been using windows!!!!
08:05:30 PMJVSCC From looken at porn sites?
08:05:31 PMGarbee Hillary, Task manager, kill all unknown processes, then run a deep virus scan.
08:05:40 PMGarbee JVSCC, Not appropriate.
08:05:45 PMDave_Maydew Food Poisoning Virus
08:05:50 PMevermind nice description
08:05:51 PMagamotto JVSCC- doesn't have to be pr0n anymore
08:05:52 PMT0B33 haha the google redirect virus? my friends got that but linux live cd came in and saved the day XD
08:05:55 PMrobgor windows lol
08:05:55 PMJVSCC From looken at korn sites?
08:06:19 PMDave_Maydew RobbieF I got asked the same question
08:06:30 PMGuest_5413 Linux is grand
08:06:30 PMGuest_6817 hope you image the drive!
08:06:35 PMevermind thats what they all say;)
08:06:41 PMDave_Maydew and I believe Scorpio55 has been asked the same too lol
08:06:48 PMagamotto I left Windows mostly due to the time wasted keeping it running as opposed to actually using it.
08:06:54 PMpyrosrock games!
08:06:58 PMT0B33 Yea my friends are taking linux in to account because of things like that :(
08:07:05 PMJVSCC FAcebook
08:07:19 PMScorpio55 FaceAche
08:07:27 PMGarbee RobbieF: I expect Viruses though.
08:07:34 PMagamotto MSE should be a part of the Service Packs
08:07:38 PMevermind best way to switch em, if they get a new piece of hw, preinstall linux and let em onto it
08:07:45 PMGarbee agamotto: MSE is rolled directly into Win 8 now.
08:07:46 PMevermind most of them figure it out quite fast if they dunno what theyre at
08:07:50 PMGarbee It is Windows Defender.
08:08:19 PMDave_Maydew I'm still using Evolution for my emails
08:08:20 PMagamotto Garbee- good move on their part
08:08:28 PMDave_Maydew not a big Thunderbird fan
08:08:29 PMJVSCC Hill that can be removed easily...
08:08:32 PMGarbee agamotto: It has been a while coming.
08:08:36 PMevermind linux not be the case, are you sure
08:08:40 PMU-AL_ The files are hidden but still there
08:08:41 PM_Jot_ Hillary, lost files? that is why you have this magical thing called 'Backup', it is really cool beans, and with it, you can restore everything!
08:08:44 PMpyrosrock i swiched i 86 yr old to thunderbird from outlook all good
08:08:50 PMGarbee U-AL_: Not always.
08:08:55 PMevermind install linux, deleting partitions to create linux ones...
08:08:58 PMagamotto Had they done that with XP or Vista, they might have kept a lot of people
08:09:06 PMU-AL_ unhide.exe and tdsskiller are good tools
08:09:07 PMevermind forgot to backup something, think profiles
08:09:37 PMJVSCC Get Mac and install Mountain Goat on it.
08:09:43 PMDave_Maydew Buy a Mac, they must have a bottomless bank account
08:09:44 PMU-AL_ Garbee it usually just hides them
08:10:01 PMGarbee Windows has been crap built on Crap until 7. 7 was some good stuff built on crap.
08:10:12 PMGarbee U-AL_: I have seen more delete than hide.
08:10:12 PMevermind if you wanna change other ppls os, also consider that youll not always be there to assist them
08:10:14 PMemiel1976 Robbyf the mac is not save
08:10:18 PMDrumstick Nice plug RobbieF
08:10:18 PMevermind they need to be able to do their stuff when youre not around
08:10:19 PMrobgor RobbieF get hillary to try a live CD
08:10:31 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, didn't you teach Hillary how to make backups?
08:10:32 PMDave_Maydew Garbeee, Windows in general is CRAP
08:10:40 PMagamotto What is a good way to explain the difference between a 'gateway' and a 'router' for a novice-level user?
08:10:53 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, you still need backups with Linux too, so no reason not to teach it
08:10:56 PMJVSCC That is old Malware, it can be fixed easily..
08:11:02 PMU-AL_ Or run a bootable rescue disk like kasperskys recue disk
08:11:18 PMGarbee Dave_Maydew: Win 8 is far better than anything else they have put out, but due to legacy support they need to keep making it 2/3rds junk.
08:11:18 PMagamotto robgor- All of my online banking is done from a live-cd
08:11:23 PMDave_Maydew Virus exist for people who run WINDOWS
08:11:32 PMGuest_4092 I have all of my file that I cannot lose on a separate partition on my computer
08:11:39 PMGarbee Dave_Maydew: Virus's exist for people who run a computer, period.
08:11:41 PMRavenLords nop virs
08:11:50 PMagamotto Garbee- agreed
08:12:02 PMGarbee Guest_4092: Even a seperate partition can't save you.
08:12:04 PMevermind btw, that get verified link works on linux too
08:12:09 PMGarbee You need a true backup.
08:12:11 PMemiel1976 Dave_Maydew, and OS X
08:12:13 PMagamotto Paypal should qualify as malware, at least ;)
08:12:32 PMJVSCC Just read the address....
08:12:38 PMGuest_4092 I have backups on backups on backups
08:12:40 PMJVSCC from
08:12:49 PMevermind you dont do much, as long as you read your paypal agreement and understand that theyll never send you stuff like that
08:12:55 PMDave_Maydew I get those emails and ones from banks about my bank account
08:13:03 PMagamotto th... thailand?
08:13:13 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, you can also verify links at sites such as http://http://www.phishtank.com/
08:13:18 PM_Jot_ whoops, http://www.phishtank.com/
08:13:23 PMDave_Maydew best thing is, I haven't got a bank account
08:13:23 PMGuest_4092 I got burned badly some years back in that I lost files and the backups failed as well
08:13:33 PMevermind wget blocked
08:13:37 PMevermind surprise surprise

08:14:03 PMGarbee I tried a wget command on a server the other day, trying to just grab images... ended up grabbing their entire site by accident!

08:15:35 PMScorpio55 My oldest Linux customer is a 92 yr old Australian
08:15:37 PMGarbee So many programs we need for the store and gaming that only run in Windows, and he will have large issues with VM's due to resources.

08:17:34 PMDave_Maydew Good night everyone
08:17:37 PMgpop7 see you next week. same time same station.
08:18:10 PMDennis_Kelley RobbieF - Thanks for an Awesome show!
08:19:04 PMpyrosrock RobbieF getting fustrated with the adds on the BSP
08:19:17 PM_Jot_ pyrosrock, a hosts file will help with that
08:19:29 PMpyrosrock ???
08:19:38 PMagamotto I have some family members now who 'unfriended' me on Facebook because I won't fix their computers for free. The silence has been good...
08:19:54 PM_Jot_ pyrosrock, your computer checks this file whenever you want an address, before asking the DNS servers
08:20:04 PMGarbee Robbie, Thanks so much for the awesome tool.
08:20:09 PMGarbee ^^ Tonights feature.
08:20:10 PMpyrosrock agamotto easier dont use facebook
08:20:33 PMGarbee Hillary, How are things going for you?... Besides systems crashing for no reason.
08:20:34 PM_Jot_ pyrosrock, so in your hosts file, you can put something like '127.0.0.1 www.example.com' or '0.0.0.0 www.example.com' and then whenever your computer needs www.example.com, it will get the address that doesn't exist
08:20:57 PMagamotto pyrosrock- too many international friends who can't be bothered with email anymore, otherwise I would
08:21:11 PM_Jot_ pyrosrock, so, if you block all the ads-servers in your hosts-file, it will still try to retrieve them, but get them from your local computer (127.0.0.1) or a non-existing one (0.0.0.0)
08:21:22 PMpyrosrock _Jot_ how do u set it up and or can u in win?
08:21:23 PM_Jot_ result: no more ads, or almost none
08:21:26 PMGarbee Robbie is so proud of Youtube able to start at specific times.
08:21:32 PM_Jot_ yep, it will be in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
08:21:42 PMGarbee Look at that little man building his community and webiste... so cute!
08:21:42 PMrobgor agamotto its a pain sometimes when u have family/friends that call you for computer problems, 99.9% its because of windows
08:22:15 PMGarbee I find about 18% of the issues I solve Windows related, the rest are poorly written software or hardware issues.
08:22:19 PMagamotto robgor- I wouldn't mind as much if they would so much as cook for me while doing it...
08:22:48 PMGarbee One of my friends moms will make me frozen pizzas whenever I want though, so that is a nice bonus for fixing her system.
08:22:52 PMagamotto Garbee- I can agree with that... save for Windows wireless setups.... grrr
08:23:03 PMGarbee Delicous homemade pizza too.
08:23:15 PMrobgor yeah they just expect it without doing anything for you
08:23:16 PMGarbee Oh god... Wireless in general is a pain in my CENSOR.
08:23:20 PMpyrosrock my personal issues are mainly hardware with some software like my ubuntu died on upgrade and havent used it since 6 manths
08:23:27 PMpyrosrock months*
08:23:31 PMagamotto I am slow-cooking some steak tips tonight... both the dog and the cat are losing it!
08:23:55 PMagamotto pyrosrock- 11.x?
08:24:22 PMpyrosrock 11.04 to 11.10
08:24:26 PMagamotto ouch
08:24:29 PMpyrosrock i think
08:24:30 PM_Jot_ pyrosrock, you can google 'windows hosts file block ads' for lots of examples
08:24:44 PMGarbee Best block ads at the router level.
08:24:51 PMagamotto Yah, 9.x taught me to stick with LTS... far fewer headaches so far
08:25:04 PMGarbee Or Router and Hosts file for laptops, that way when you leave they are still blocked on other networks.
08:25:10 PMagamotto How do you block them at router level?
08:25:15 PMpyrosrock _Jot_ im suprised adblock plus dosent do it or if so how ho i add to the filter?
08:25:24 PMGarbee Just blocking the IP's of the domains, or the domains themselves.
08:25:27 PMDennis_Kelley RobbieF - Does uptimerobot need to be running for awhile to show any uptime data?
08:25:27 PMGarbee Just like a host file.
08:25:30 PMGarbee at least for DD-WRT.
08:25:34 PMagamotto Ahhh, I see
08:25:41 PM_Jot_ pyrosrock, it won't because it's not part of the http system that adblockplus monitors
08:25:52 PMpyrosrock ah ok
08:26:44 PM_Jot_ pyrosrock, if you do load up a big file, mine is about a 1MB hosts file, then your computer may boot up slowly, or not respond well when you start internet, so in that case you may want to turn off the DNS service in your services
08:27:28 PMagamotto Well, I am off to enjoy dinner.
08:27:30 PMpyrosrock did u make the file ur self or get it online?
08:27:35 PMGarbee see ya agamotto
08:27:37 PMagamotto Chat at you folks later
08:27:42 PM_Jot_ it's called DNS client in the windows-services list, it caches the DNS
08:28:00 PM_Jot_ pyrosrock, I got one from the internet a few years ago, and I've been added to it, mine is at http://www.wodyme.com/hosts/hosts.zip if you want to take a look
08:28:45 PMpyrosrock _Jot_ better not have a virus i dont like zip files
08:28:48 PM_Jot_ I've zipped it cause it is 1.6MB or so
08:28:53 PMGarbee Jot, may I take a look?
08:28:56 PM_Jot_ it's just one file, the hosts file, which is a text file
08:28:58 PM_Jot_ sure, everybody can
08:29:12 PMGarbee I want to see how it is configured.
08:30:08 PMpyrosrock _Jot_ u dont find things get blocked u want?
08:30:27 PM_Jot_ pyrosrock, no, and if that happens, I can always search the one that got blocked, and remove it
08:30:46 PMpyrosrock yeah i see some commented out lines
08:31:01 PM_Jot_ since I disabled the DNS client from windows, then refreshing the page, or restarting the browser will load it
08:31:04 PMrobgor great show Robbie and Hillary, outa heya goto do some work, bye all
08:34:39 PMGarbee 54824 lines in that host file.
08:34:50 PMGarbee That is a lot of typing.
08:34:54 PM_Jot_ it's probably got doubles in it too
08:35:06 PMpyrosrock _Jot_ so if i reploce my hosts file it will just work or do i have to tell it to use it?
08:35:09 PM_Jot_ and I didn't do much of the typing, i used a different one I got many years ago as you can see from the date
08:35:21 PM_Jot_ pyrosrock, yes, but before you do that, you'll probably want to turn off the DNS client-service
08:35:36 PM_Jot_ like I said, it can take 5-10 minutes to half an hour to load
08:35:49 PM_Jot_ cause the DNS client is just a DNS-caching-service, and it will load that file
08:36:10 PM_Jot_ so if you disable the DNS-client, it won't load that file, and won't cache DNS, but ask the DNS server directly, which it would do normally anyway
08:36:27 PMpyrosrock _Jot_ ok well i will see as i have to wait like 10 min f my com after boot anyway
08:36:54 PMGarbee I need to go get dog food. Be back soon, may chat some more.
08:37:15 PM_Jot_ you'll want to make a copy of your hosts file (which won't have much in it, just microsoft lines) just in case of course
08:37:23 PM_Jot_ it'll have only the 127.0.0.1 localhost, most of the time
08:37:40 PMpyrosrock yeah renamed to *_bak
08:38:05 PM_Jot_ with that file, and adblockplus, you'll still get the 'ad coming up in 10 minutes' on the BSP, but no ads
08:38:30 PMpyrosrock yeah
08:39:16 PM_Jot_ I know people don't like it when you block ads for their income, but I figure it's my computer, I pay for the connection, so I determine what goes over the connection into my computer
08:39:31 PMpyrosrock _Jot_ hmm i could use this to block virus sites as well on other ppls cams so i dont have to rebuild every 6 months
08:39:37 PM_Jot_ yep
08:40:14 PM_Jot_ also you could use a DNS server like the opendns.com ones, which block sites automaticly too
08:40:23 PM_Jot_ they also run that phishtank-service I mentioned
08:41:04 PMpyrosrock hmm i wonder if they have a published list they block so i could setup on my home server as a proxy
08:41:37 PM_Jot_ I am not sure, but with phishing and virusses, it changes about once a minute at least so it wouldn't always help :)
08:41:56 PMRavenLords lol Robbief need a beer to
08:42:16 PMpyrosrock yeah wood need a auto updating system
08:42:42 PMRobbieF You know it

08:51:14 PMDennis_Kelley Has anyone ever heard of Steampunk? Something new I am getting into!
08:51:33 PMajamison5579 Robbief added a few more suggestions to the wiki speaking of the new site
08:51:35 PMRobbieF np ravenlords gl
08:51:41 PMRobbieF cheers ajamison5579
08:51:45 PMajamison5579 not sure they are viable but just thoughts
08:51:46 PMRobbieF did you check for replies?
08:51:51 PMajamison5579 yep
08:52:33 PMpyrosrock Dennis_Kelley steampunk is a theme
08:53:04 PMDennis_Kelley pryosrock - i am not sure really what to call it
08:53:33 PMpyrosrock Dennis_Kelley to call what?
08:54:06 PMDennis_Kelley what Steampunk is! its based off a role playing game is it not?
08:55:11 PMpyrosrock Dennis_Kelley i belive so but it is basicly a theme of old ond futureistic rolled into one
08:56:10 PMDennis_Kelley yes I have seen pictures of new things that are made to look antique
08:56:54 PMDennis_Kelley has anyone ever played with a Palm Pilot on linux, or put linux on a Palm Pilot
09:05:53 PMajamison5579 Palm + Linux is a tricky beast
09:06:13 PMajamison5579 I have tried using Jpilot but it is still shotty
09:06:44 PMajamison5579 now with Palm OS not existing anymore it is not likely to get any better
09:07:41 PMRobbieF http://www.flickr.com/photos/category5tv/6919232779/in/photostream
09:08:47 PMpyrosrock Ox RobbieF added my 2 cents to the new page wiki

09:23:15 PMRobbieF Garbee, you have to keep watching the photo gallery week to week... we add new ones all the time... usually goofy.
09:23:15 PMRobbieF ;)
09:23:23 PMRobbieF not sure what you're referring to pyrosrock
09:23:26 PMRobbieF [sorry]
09:24:39 PMGarbee Eric eating pie... It is like watching a bear invade a campsite.
09:24:58 PMGarbee Except with enough manners to use a utensil.
